Four gunmen attacked a local television station headquarters north of Baghdad on Monday, killing five journalists, a police source told Al Jazeera.

The dead – four men and a woman – were Salaheddin television's chief news editor, a copy editor, a producer, a presenter and the archives manager, police officers said. Five other employees were wounded.

Two of the attackers blew themselves up, and security forces killed the other two when they stormed the building.
